Seeing Keith Moon Play for the First Time

My game changing moment was getting a dvd of a documentary about The Who and seeing Keith Moon playing for the first time. Just such a flurry of madness and speed but so controlled and on the button and the reaction he got from the audience as well as his bandmates. I knew from that moment i just had to be drum player and i watched that dvd over and over again for hours. I then convinced my parents into buying me a drumkit, tried for so long to sound just like keith moon and since then i have been playing for 5 years, annoying everyone who lives near me or has been forced to be in the same room as me playing drums!

Great Story!

I think this one is a winner!

I've Got One...

I want to submit MY game-changing moment.
